How's this for keeping up with the Joneses? I'm all for roughing it out in the wilderness, but this is like a dream you have the first night of sleep after you've braved all the elements. Yosemite during bear season, tent on a rocky slope, bug invasion, hypothermia cold at night, and hot as Hades in the day... No, camping will never be the same.

Here's the excerpt from Design Within Reach:

An avid outdoorsman, Airstream founder Wally Byam married a woman who had little interest in the "adventure" of sleeping on the ground. When he built his bride a tent on a Ford Model T chassis that he could tow behind the car, marital bliss was restored. The project gave Byam an idea for a travel trailer that moved like a "stream of air" and in 1936, America got its first look at an Airstream.

In 2000, the company's motto, "Make only improvements, not changes," was shaken by architect-designer Chris Deam who gutted a vintage trailer to create a booth for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Deam's ability to respect the history of the iconic aluminum shell, while bringing a lighter, more spacious feeling to the interior, was praised by Airstream purists and the design community. The design caught our eye at DWR, and we contacted Deam about creating a special edition trailer for our customers.

Embracing our inner Mrs. Byam, we've outfitted this Airstream with the works, and all of the surfaces of the light and airy interior have been updated with today's most durable materials. Everything you need is included to hit the road and satisfy your need to know what's around the next bend. Whether the Design Within Reach Airstream takes you to distant places, or provides an extra room at home, its panoramic windows and iconic history will inspire a different point of view.

Priced at $49,066.

The Design Within Reach model is sold through Airstream dealers. Find a DWR Airstream dealer near you.

Here's my daughter's ode to her bicycle: "Raindrops on roses and cute Hello Kitty, riding a pink bike and exploring the city..." Seriously. That's really what she said.
